Making shared objects with GCJ

[Sal]

Thanks for the help... this answers my question.

I am wondering, if you (or anyone) knows of anyone that has successfully
built a windows .dll from GCJ yet?  I am wondering if it has been done
before, as I am thinking about setting up an environment so that I can do
this.

If it takes making a linux/windows cross-compiling version of GCJ I am
willing to, I'm just wondering if it is even possible before I dive into
it, or if theres any info out there to get me started.

Thanks in advance,
- Sal
